Chapter 2

"Hey, Lena? Where we goin' anyway?" Reno asked, running a few steps to keep up with the blonde Turk.

"To Tseng." She replied bluntly.

"Oh yeah?" Reno said amusedly. Elena didn't even have to look at him know that he was smirking. "Why?"

"We have a mission. Me, you and Rude." Elena told him, already sensing that she would have a headache by the end of the day.

"Oh wow." Reno said enthusiastically. "I ain't been on a mission with Rude for years."

"You would have gone last week if you'd have bothered showing up." Elena said darkly.

"Alright. What's eatin' ya?" Reno asked. Elena paused, not really sure how to respond to that question.

"Nothing." She settled with.

"'Kay then." Reno smiled. "What's this mission then?" the redhead asked.

"I don't know, that's why we're going to see Tseng." Elena sighed.

Elena was about to knock on Tseng's office door, when Reno put his hand up, shook his head, and opened the door straight away.

"Ah… there you are." Tseng said looking up. Rude was already in the room, sitting with his arms folding, waiting for his fellow Turks. Elena was slightly dumb-struck as to how Reno always managed to get away with walking straight into Tseng's office. Elena would never dare do that…

"So, what's the plan, boss-man?" Reno asked casually.

"I need you to go over to Wall-Market-"

"Please tell us there's no cross-dressin' involved?" Reno interrupted. Elena couldn't help but laugh.

"Reno…" Tseng coughed lightly. "I know how much the stories about AVALANCHE members amused you, but it has nothing to do with this mission. Anyway, we knew that Don Corneo has been passing information to us from AVALANCHE, but I fear it has finally turned the other way around."

"You mean he's passin' info to Cloud an' his buddies?" Reno asked.

"Right." Tseng said. "But we don't know if it's true or not. We only had a tip-off from one of the Don's workers. There's a lot of treachery going on, and the main thing is we need to find out who is deceiving who."

"Doesn't sound too bad." Elena said. "Why do we all have to go?"

"You of all people should know Elena, it's difficult to predict Corneo's next move." Tseng explained. "We need full attention at all time, and although Reno is our best interrogator, he doesn't exactly have the best attention span."

"Did you just insult me?" Reno asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No Reno." The raven-haired man replied simply. "Are you all ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." Reno said impatiently. "Rude?"

The bald Turk stood up and nodded, smiling slightly. "Let's go." He confirmed.

It didn't take the three Turks long to make it to Wall-Market, and Reno's presence always seemed to make time go faster. Reno's smirk seemed to get more and more obvious the closer they got to Don Corneo's mansion, and Elena wasn't sure she wanted to know why.

"Hey, Rude and 'Laney…" Reno said, stopping before he entered the mansion. "Be prepared, you wouldn't want the Don to mistake either of you for women." He grinned.

"Shut up Reno." Elena said angrily, but the only response Reno got from Rude was a cough and a smirk.
"Shut up Rude." Reno said moodily.

"It's the hormones." Elena whispered loudly to Rude, who smirked again. Reno scowled at her.

Upon entering Don Corneo's mansion, Reno cheered up significantly, which was slightly worrying to Elena. It seemed like he had something on his mind that was amusing him.

"Where is he?" Reno asked the man at the desk loudly. Elena sighed, thinking that Reno could be a little more inconspicuous.

"Sorry?" The man replied snobbishly.

"That fat bastard you call a boss, where is he?" Reno said, surprisingly calmly. Elena knew that one of Reno's pet hates was snobbish people who looked down their nose at him. The man coughed lightly.

"Did you have an appointment?" he asked.

"Of course I did." Reno said, suddenly making his tone more pleasant. "I'm a little late though…" he narrowed his eyes and smirked at these words, making Elena nervous.

"Go on up." The man said. He clearly couldn't be bothered with Reno's awkward behavior.

Reno stepped away from the desk and smirked at Rude and Elena. As usual, he had known exactly what he was doing when he was talking to the man behind the desk. He seemed to have a way with people which was beyond Elena.

"Anyone actually remember their way 'round this place?" Reno asked, suddenly stopping on the stairs.

"Yeah, middle door." Rude told him. Reno nodded and ran up the stairs two at a time before waiting for the other two at the top.

"C'mon then." Reno said, leading the two of them through the door.

"Who's there?" came a nervous sounding voice.

The three Turks stepped forwards into full view of Don Corneo, who stared over at them, terrified.

"I heard you changed your mind." Reno said savagely. "What did you do with the diaper?"

"No!" the Don said, shaking his large head. "I didn't… you don't know what they threatened to do!"

"There are fates worse than death." Reno told him. "Or castration, now tell me what's goin' on."

"I didn't do anything; I swear." Corneo said. He mopped his sweaty brow. "One of my employees got fired, and he decided to cause trouble."

"What have you said to AVALANCHE?" Reno asked, his voice slightly calmer.

"Nothing." The Don said bluntly. "I want out of this Shin-Ra and AVALANCHE fight."

Reno stared at Don Corneo, as though puzzling something through, eventually, he seemed to make his decision and exited the room. Elena looked at Rude who shook his head, and then both of them followed Reno.

"What was that about?" Elena asked him.

"He's not lying, trust me." The redhead told her as they exited the building. She was a little skeptical as to how Reno knew this, but she trusted him anyway. Reno looked like he was about to say something, when suddenly someone charged at him from his left, forcing him to ground.

"Shit!" he screamed as Rude pulled the man off him. He had only managed to get in a few punches, and Reno's eye was already blackening. "What the hell do ya think ya playin' at?" The redhead shouted at the man Rude held by the collar. He had adopted his familiar inhumanly-fast, angry voice.

"You Turk bastard." The man hissed. "You'll never beat the Don!"

"Ah… one of those, eh?" Reno laughed. "I bet you've never even met the Don, have ya? You want me to kill ya then?"

"Reno, you've seen people like this before." Rude interrupted. "They're not even worth wasting a bullet on."

"Sure, I've seen people like this before, but I had to pay an admission." Reno spat. "Now piss off before I find something to get really angry about."

"You couldn't beat me, let alone the Don!" The man said stubbornly.

"Modest kinda guy, ain't ya?" Reno smirked. "With a lot to be modest about. You're more of a nuisance than a threat; now wander off back to the Don in case he needs someone to kiss his ass."

Rude let go of the man's collar, and he did the stupidest thing he could have in Elena's opinion. He took another swing at Reno, who dodged, and punched him back, knocking him out instantly.

"Let's go." Reno said smugly, leaving the man on the floor.
